Now, I need to pick out a few more fabrics for my son's quilt and it will be started.

Guess I should learn the whole bobbin thing, but I am so excited that she is up and running.

I guess she needs an official name... I think she will be Helen, after my grandmother. Gram taught me to crochet a million years ago... remember the oreo cooking crochet magnets. Thanks Gram!!
I know you are excited! I just put my 1st treadle belt on last night. I just put it all back together after refinishing the cabinet and cleaning my machine...already shortened the belt twice...but I treadled today!!! Haven't filled a bobbin yet, just used the thread that was on it. It was exciting! I am anxious to start something on it...after some practice.
